Ticket issuing device with improved closed ticket processing function and closed ticket processing method using the device

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ticket issuing unit (TIU) of a subway ticket vending machine (simply called a ticket vending machine), and more specifically, to a ticket issuing machine operated as part of subway service automation, The present invention relates to a ticket issuing device and a method for processing a closed ticket using the device.

1 shows a block configuration of each device of a ticket vending machine, and an operation including an input hole for inputting a desired destination and the like for the subway user on the front of the case of the ticket vending machine. The display unit 5 protrudes, and inside the ticket vending machine, a ticket issuing unit 1, a banknote processing unit 2, a coin processing unit 3, and the like as indicated by a dotted line block are disposed. In addition, a power supply unit, a coin processing unit, a bill collection set, and the like which form a predetermined operating power source are configured.

Also, in recent years, the card processing unit 4 may be installed in parallel with the paper processing unit 2 and the coin processing unit 3, reflecting the fact that the card is used as a payment means of various charges.

Conventionally, when a subway user displays a destination or a desired amount of money and then inputs the amount into the amount input hole in the operation / display unit 5, the main control unit 6 is a charge processing unit, that is, a bill processing unit 2 and a coin processing unit 3. The card processing unit 4 settles the charges, releases the change, and sends the ticket issuing unit 1 predetermined information regarding ticketing to issue a ticket with the predetermined information recorded thereon.

In this case, when the user passes the ticket gate using the ticket, a predetermined record such as a ticket passing time is added to the ticket, and the user's destination, release date and time, fare, sale station, discount for persons with disabilities, discrimination between adults and children, A record of various information, such as the device number, is maintained, and when the user passes through the interrogator to the destination, the information is read and becomes important information to confirm whether or not the right use.

The information has been used to perform the dog wicket quickly to increase the efficiency of station automation, but it is usually recorded in the magnetic recording unit on the back of the ticket, so that the user could not recognize the record. As a result, if the user inadvertently loses the record, the station official cannot recognize the self record on the ticket of the passenger, and thus the user may inadvertently receive an additional charge, etc., and in some cases, the dispute between the user and the station employee. Had the potential to cause.

In order to solve this problem, in the ticket invention machine which is conventionally operated as part of the subway service automation, the user prints the main information such as the destination, the release date and time, and the fare on the ticket, and the user prints it on his ticket. A TIU has been proposed that allows the information to be recognized.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a conventional ticket issuing process. As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit of FIG. 2 described below describes the roll paper transferred from the roll paper driving unit 11 by the cutting unit 12 (FIG. 2) in the block 40. After being cut to a certain length under the control of (10), in block 41, the cut roll, i.e., the ticket, the date and time of the user, the fare, the station of sale, the discount for the disabled, the distinction between the person and the child, and the device are used. Various information such as numbers are printed by the printing unit 14 (FIG. 2), and in block 42 the above information is magnetically recorded by the magnetic recording unit 13 (FIG. 2) on the magnetic bar of the ticket, and this is done by the block 43. The control unit 10 (Fig. 2) confirms whether there is an abnormality of information, and is released at the normal right date (block 44), and the abnormal right date and time was collected by a closed vote (block 45).

However, in the above method, since the printed information is printed on the front of the ticket regardless of whether the ticket is normal or not, it was impossible to identify whether the ticket was normally normal, and thus the abnormal ticket could be used as it is. Therefore, it became a factor to reduce the efficiency of subway station automation.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised under the above-mentioned background, and checks the magnetic information recorded on the magnetic bar on the ticket, prints only in the case of the normal ticket, and closes the ticket in the case of the abnormal ticket, thereby preventing the use of the abnormal ticket. The purpose is to improve efficiency.
